No Man's Sky confirmed as PS4 timed exclusive, has new trailer - watch

No Man's Sky has been confirmed as a timed exclusive on PlayStation 4.

Developed by the indie studio Hello Games, the upcoming science-fiction game is about exploration and survival.

"It's a game without limits," Hello Games managing director Sean Murray wrote on the PlayStation Blog.

"If you see a mountain, you can trek there. From that mountain, if you see another planet hanging on the horizon, that's a real place, with its own ecology."

He added: "You can get in your ship, fly into space and it's yours to explore. Not just that, but every star in the sky is just the light of a sun, with its own solar system waiting for you to discover and adventure in."
